Through the activities of the LIFE business incubator, the Sheffield region is rapidly establishing itself as the location of choice for high-growth, leading edge companies in the sustainable energy technology sector.
LIFE is a technology accelerator that via in-house expertise, access to networks and a proven acceleration process assists innovative, early stage, low-carbon technology companies to secure investment and evolve from concept through development to first sales and ultimately to full commercial success.
LIFE provides a full range of services, including specialist advice on:
- Business and financial planning
- Corporate and marketing strategy
- Intellectual Property and other legal issues
- Technical development
- Human resources
LIFE assists clients in their search for capital by managing a Capital Network, giving client companies access to a pool of capital and associated expertise. LIFE have established the LIFE Talent network which comprises senior executives who have expressed a desire to join the management team of one of LIFE's client companies in either an executive or non executive position. Client companies are free to recruit from outside of the Talent network; however the combination of high calibre candidates and LIFE's track record of successful placement ensures the network acts as an important resource for client companies.
LIFE are based within the Environmental Energy Technology Centre at the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) which provides the ideal location to develop an environmental energy technology business more effectively and quickly. The EETC allows companies to develop their technologies in an iconic, carbon-neutral building, powered by Europe's largest capacity hydrogen mini-grid system (http://www.hydrogen-yorkshire.com/). It is also the ideal setting from which to promote technology to national and international audiences, alongside other similar cutting-edge technologies.
If you represent an energy and environmental technology company located in the UK or internationally and would like to establish a new facility within the Sheffield region, please call us and we will assign a dedicated, totally free, experienced professional account manager to work with your company for the duration of your investment project and beyond.
We hope to hear from you soon
